PETITION.
SHEpHERDsTowN, w. Va,


August 26, 1887.
To Mesms. Joseph McMwran, John
Keplinger and N. S. J. Stridr-Yonr Pc
titioners, already Overburdened with ex-
cessive taxation. appeal to your honora-
BILE Board of Education to rescind your
late action increasing the pay Of the
teachers of the Graded School In Shep-
herdstown, the Principal from $40 to s55
aud the assistants from $35 to $50 per
month. We think it Was quite enough
for you. to raise the No. certificate in
the district 10 $40 per month, higher,
we are Informed, than is paid in any
other district in this county or in the
adjoining county of Berkeley. But your
action initiating the salaries of the
Graded School teachers in Shepherds
town we condemn as unwarranted and
unreasonable, and in fact, if not revoked
will prove disastrous 10 the Graded
School and To the future salaries of the
teacher in the district. We are friends
of education and believe the present
corps of teachers in the Graded School
are efficient and faithful, and desire that
they be retained, but not at higher
salary than they received last year, and
should they decline to accept this prop
osition, we undertake TO furnish equal
talent who will be very glad to get the
situation-possibly at less than was paid
last year. We make this appeal in no
spirit of vindictiveness, but we are de-
termined to see that retrep chment shall
come. The crops are short, and prices
very low. Vegetables and fruits are
almost failure, and we demand that
those in authority must curtail ex-
penses. We do not desire to be bank
rupted, and while we econopize and
deny ourselves and families in expen-
ditures, we do not propose longer to re-
main silent on the question of public
extravaganza.

Bitters as the very best remedy. Every
bottle sold has given relief in every
case. One man took six bottles, and

There Is q certain class Of remedies for con p,
stipation absolutely useless. There are boluses
and potions made in great part OF podophyl.
lin. sloes. rhubarb, gamboge. and other worth
less ingredients. The damage they do TO the
stomachs Of those who use them 10 incalcula-
BILE. They evacuate the bowels, 1t Is true, but
always do so violently and profusely, and be-
sides, grippe the bowels. Their effect is to
weaken both them and the stomach. Better
far to use the agreeable and salutary aperient,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the laxative
effect of which is never preceded by pain, or
accompanied by a convulsive, violent action
ofthe bowels. On the contrary, IL invigorates
tenn. AS q means Of curing and preventing
malarial fevers, no medicine can compare
with 1t, and 1t remedies nervous debility,
rheumatism, kidney and bladder inactivity,
and other inorganic ailments.

Dou't You DO IL.

Very few people can afford TO part with
their money for anything less than It's full
value. Until you have thoroughly investi-
gated the sources Of supply and Know where

to let II slip out Of your pockets into other
peoples pockets. Many people part with

The Fourth Congressional District of
this State was greatly excited last week
over an escapade in which Ex-Congress-
man Eusticc Gibson figured. Judge
McGinnis, Of the State Circuit Court,
and Mr.. Gibson have for years been on
unfriendly terms. A few days ago
while Gibson was defending hopeless
case In the Circuit Court a: Huntington
he took occasion, so it is said, to charge
that the Judge was open to brides, and
that there was no use trying to get JUS
tice from either the court or jury.
While walking on the streets on Thurs
day afternoon Gibson is alleged to have
used most offensive language concern
iLg the court, calling the Judge oppro-
hrious epithets, and making use of Ian
guage highly derogatory to his
judicial partner. As soon as the
court convened Gibson was arraigned
upon charge Of contempt. The court
was crowded to overhowing. The ex-
animation was conducted amid intense
excitement. After listening to the tes-
timony Of number of the most reputa-
BILE men, Judge McGinIis fined Mr..
Gibson $50 and ordered him sent to Jail
for ten days. The excitement then in
creased, and it was feared for some time
that there would be q riot. Mr.. Gibson
yielded to the orders of the court with
out complaint. The entire bar of Hunt.
ingdon petitioned the court on Thurs
day night to release Mr.. Gibson from
Jail. After he had retired Judge Nc
Ginnis finally concluded to grant the
petition as to the imprisonment, but in
sisted upon the payment Of the $50 fine.

was passed by the West Virginia Press
Association last week that will, or
should, have a tendency to suppress
scurrilous and vulgar newspaper per-
sonalities. 1t provides that upon the
recommendation of the Executive Com
mittee newspaper that INDUCES in in
decent personal attacks shall be declared
unworthy of courtesies from the other
newspapers in the Association, and they
will thereupon cease to exchange with

course. There has been too much black
guardism in certain of the West Virginia
papers, and we hope this will end it.
